Perfect for the holidays! With just two half-yard cuts of two patterns, I sewed them right sides together and used a CD to make the curved corners. Once I turned it right side out, and ironed it, I top-stitched the edge.

Use a pattern you like for the Fall and another for Winter and have a pretty table both seasons. I've made another for a hostess gift.

Here is a fast one! With a wool remnant and one seam, I have a fall runner. . . something that can take us from September to Thanksgiving. A pretty flannel would work, or another plaid you like. These colors just seemed perfect for our house.

It is super simple. Fold your remnant in 1/2 with the selvadges on each end. Seam it and press. Easy, peasy, lemon-squeezy.
